Trend Report: Cross your legs

Spring is finally lingering around the corner, and I am sure many of you are more than happy to chuck the winter coats into the closet and pull out your lighter, shorter spring coats. Afterall, who doesn’t want to finally show their legs after months of burying them under thick, suffocating leggings and pants? Unfortunately, [...]

Shoe Porn: Acne Prefall 2010 boots

OMG ACNE WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?!

This is almost too much of a good thing.

First up is this stunner [...]

Gianni Barbato Skull Boots

I am pretty sure my heart skipped a few beats when I saw this pair of boots off Luisaviaroma.

By now you would’ve known that anything that is black and has skulls would probably make it to our lust list.
I would so imagine wearing this with some awesome skinny pants and the almighty Rick Owens draped [...]

Trend Report: Sock it up

I don’t know about you, but I love it when fashion completely turns everyone’s expectations over and, in the words of Tim Gunn, “make it work”.
I am sure that every girl have been warned at any given point in their lives to never wear open-toed sandals with stockings. It was an image permeated by unfortunate [...]

Maurie & Eve Black Motorcycle Boot: Balenciaga Harness boots lookalike

Woah, following Sam Edelman’s Balenciaga knockoff of the Harness boots, I think despite drawing inspirations from the same pair of boots, this one actually looks nice and isn’t as blatant.
It looks really comfortable.
Go grab yours from OAK right now. They’re USD324 a pop though.

Fall trend 2009: Thigh high boots

There’s no denying it. Thigh high boots are awesome even if they border on being somewhat of a footwear belonging to a hooker’s wardrobe. They’re sexy and they draw attention and this Fall, we’re seeing it all over the runway.
Here are some of my favorites:

Gucci
These are classy and stylish looking thigh highs. I think they’d [...]

Harness the power

There’s been alot of posts on chain harnesses with many DIY project revolving around it.
And then there are the elastic bras which I really covet. With Haute Macabre and Kingdom of Style blogging about it some time back.
I’ve been wanting to do a DIY project on it myself but alas, procrasination got the better of [...]

Duality

I know I am nearly one year late to this, but recently, I have just been reminded of their awesomeness while flipping through back issues of magazines. Paired with a pair of black pumps, it gives the illusion of a really awesome pair of shoes. Not to mention the design have a really slimming effect. [...]

Complex Geometries: White Tee project

I love my tees.
I think the most awesome people can wear a white tee and jeans and still look fashionable.
And then there is your Complex Geometries, which makes tees looks like they are engineered. You wonder how it’s made and how it’s worn.
I am still in awe since my last Complex Geometries post and now [...]

Leg candies

It’s no news that hooker-worthy heels have made a comback on every major catwalk out there. If it isn’t at least 6 inches and doubles as a murder weapon, it simply wouldn’t do. And there are no better accessory to murder than hooker-worthy stockings. It’s the Bonnie and Clyde of leg fetishism. Much like hooker-worthy [...]

hm-divided-exclusive-fall-09-collection-1

I’m a little late on this, just about every respectable fashion blogger has already posted on their enthusiasm for this new collection that is set to be released in Fall 2009.

Browsing through the pieces, I am especially excited about the fact that it is black and the accessories and big and chunky, justlike the way [...]

Impracticalities.

Just like most people, I have a few regrets in my life. Not studying as seriously as I should have for a major exam. Hanging on to the lowlife of an ex and not breaking up sooner.
My chief regret, however, is not buying anything at All Saints when I had the chance to.
With prices ranging [...]

Complex Geometries A/W 09

Jersey is awesome. It stretches and contours, it drapes and folds.
If I had only one type of fabric to work with for an entire collection, it would be jersey.
But the people at Complex Geometries beat me to it.
Scrolling through their Autumn/Winter collection makes me feel like the models are modern day Jedi knights. I love [...]
